Health is the Ultimate Wealth

Post navigation

People across the world spend a huge chunk of their income on health-related issues. Most of them are not interested in taking precautions for good health but are ready to jump on each remedy they discover after catching diseases. We come across many new ailments in our lifetime and the number keeps on increasing with each passing day. Scary as it sounds, I think it’s advisable to become health-educated than to spend and repent later. Healthy individual leads a happy, content life and handles stress better than others. There are many misconceptions about the idea of health. Most of us have the opinion that health is exclusively physical fitness. The problem begins here.

WHO defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”We infer from this definition that physical fitness is important but mental health and social behaviour also affect our well-being to a great extent. The infographics shown below gives suggestions to stay physically fit. These are really good tips for a healthy lifestyle. Add to it the flavour of social and mental health. These are the support pillars that boost our physical fitness to exist longer and brimming with joy.

The concept of health has been changed in the last few years. Experts give as much importance to mental condition and social behaviour as to physical fitness. There’s a revolution in the healthcare system where new ideas are changing the world for the better. Need is to spread the word about the significance of mental and social abilities.🐞So, what defines a healthy person?Every generation is different from the preceding one and the big change we observe in our generation is the increased mental stress and troubled social behaviour. These conditions might have not troubled our predecessors to this extent. The need to draw boundaries for social and mental health didn’t exist to such a considerable degree; hence the definition of health was limited to physical well-being.

Let’s define Health

🐞 Health has a vast meaning including physical, mental and social soundness. A person with all these abilities is considered a healthy human. See, it’s time that has changed the concept of health and we don’t know if this definition stands true in the coming years.🐞 Not falling ill is healthy. Equally important is the speed of recovering from the illness. Diseases strike all but the magnitude of impact differs from individual to individual. A healthy person has good immunity that helps him to bounce back to normal life after falling sick.🐞 Health acts as an everyday resource for us to lead a great life. Work on it and wake up every day to happy and optimistic energy. Save your health.🐞 What are the factors that influence our health?– lifestyle– The physical environment– The social and economic environment– The person’s individual characteristics and behaviour– Genetics– Gender🐞 There are so many aspects of health that we can’t blame a person for having bad health or praise another for having good health. Some of these factors are beyond the control of a person. We can’t do much about the social and economic conditions. It’s not in our control to be born in a healthy or rich family; our social and financial structure depends on it. Gender, male or female suffers from different diseases; we can’t control.🐞 Numerous factors deciding our health and many of them can’t be regulated by us. But, there are still many, we can manage wisely for a better lifestyle. Our happiness largely depends on our health. A healthy person lives life fully and is a valuable asset to society.

Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle

Love the tips that you have provided, super useful. Maintaining a work life balance is a task for me and add in health and fitness concerns, everything just goes for a toss for me. I do try and make small efforts to keep myself fit, hopefully that works

I completely agree with you Aditi, and yes health is wealth and we all should make health a first priorty. what a co-incidence, I had written similar kind of post few days ago, and share same kind of info in post.
indeed mental and emotional well being is equally important and we all should pay enough attention to that. #Myfriendalexa #Surbhireads

Health is the ultimate wealth indeed. If we don’t have it, we might as well don’t have anything else. Yet, in today’s fast-paced life, it’s one thing some people tend to ignore the most too. Great post, Aditi.

So true, being healthy is not only about the physical fitness, a fit mental health is also required as an important element to keep your health into the balanced position.Thanks for sharing crucial points of a healthy lifestyle.

True! both physical and mental health are equally important and in our times getting affected by social media fake charms and fame is so unhealthy for both our mental and physical health. It’s better to keep a check on both. Prevention is better than cure. 🙂

YES! We are forgetting to take care of our health. We have got busy. Self-care should be the ultimate goal of our life. Every time I read such posts I decide to be more healthy but after 3-4 days I forget everything 😦

Thank you very much for a great entry 🙂 despite appearances, maintaining balance in all spheres of our life is not so easy but it is worth fighting for because it partly defines happiness in our lives
